Mt. McKinley: Frank & Team Pick Up 9,900’ Cache

June 5, 2014 - 11:57 pm PT We slept in a bit this morning as light snow fell on camp. After a leisurely breakfast of bagels with bacon and cream cheese, we walked 30 minutes down to our cache at 9,900'. After returning to 11K Camp, we rested before building snow walls around our tents. Everyone is doing very well and excited to keep working up. With light snow still falling this evening, we are going to keep watching the weather and take it day by day. Thanks for following along with us. RMI Guides Eric Frank, Geoff Schellens and the UWR team

It would appear that you have a terrific team climbing with you this year.  They need to know that they are in good hands.  Your knowledge, understanding and skill on Denali is unprecedented.  Your ability to transfer those traits and abilities to provide a great experience to us average climbers can not be acknowledged enough.  Your ability to weigh risk and benefit to determine appropriate action or task is exceptional.  I have enjoyed following your team so far.  Looks like you have some significant weather coming at you over the next few days.  Climb safe.  JB 2012

John- Those snow walls remind me of the igloos and snow houses your grandpa used to make for us (your mom, Aunt Joyce and I) when we were kids.But, even Cleveland, Ohio NEVER looked that cold! Be safe, have fun and remember we are all rooting for you…

The weather forecast for us, here in Bakersfield CA, is for 100+ temps.  Your snowy mountain sounds pretty good right now!!!
